Kane captained his country to back-to-back appearances in the showpiece fixture at the ꦏEuropean Championships, but experienced the same outcome as he did at Wembley three years ago in Berlin.
Nico Williams had given La Roja the lead two minutes after the restart, only for Cole Palmer to level wi🔯th England's fastest ever goal from a substitute at the Euros.
But it proved in vain as Mikel Oyarzabal netted his fifth consecutive goal from the bench late on to secure♓ a record fourth title for Spain.
England became the first nation in European Championship history to lose conse🧜cutive finals, losing to Italy at Euro 2020 and Luis de la Fuente's side this t🍎ime around.
Despite sharing the Golden Boot with three goals, Kane endured an underwhelming tournament and wa♈s replaced on the hour-mark in the f🅠inal by Ollie Watkins.
In the 181 minutes he played across both the Euro 2020 and 2024 finals, Kaꦫne had just one shot, one touch in the opposition box and had just 58 touches of the ball.
The Bayern Munich striker's wait for a first trophy in his professional career goes on, having beenಞ a part of the Bundesliga club's first season without a trophy in 11 y♏ears.
Kane expressed his disappointment of losing another major tournament final, posti🌞ng to X a tribute to his teammates and England fans f♛or their support in Germany.
It read: "Heartbroken we couldn’t achieve what we worked so hard to. ꧅It was a long tough tournament and I’m so proud of the boys and staff for getting to the final.

"Thank꧑ you to all the fans that believed in us and supported us to the very end!"
